We want to and we ask: what do we really need, and invite a bunch of people to
answer this question in sound/radio, plus share it with others, so
that we can have some sort of chain reaction. > thus the title :)
it can be "good" what we share with each other, but also not - and
it can also get out of control.

You can read our complete invitation at the bottom of this page, as we
had sent it out beginning of november.

Max Höfler and Reni Hofmüller have prepared the radio studio
with support of Garfield from forum stadtpark in the main space,
installing it in the center of "Tagung der Komune", a
performance-film-installation situation built to question: what can a
comune be at the end of 2012?

Live setting from Ljubljana for Chain Reaction, December 1st 2012, at

Our invitation as sent out in November 2012.

Join us at December 1st: Chain Reaction - XLR-Radio

Greetings from Graz - togehter with the writer and radioartist Max
Höfler, we are preparing a live radio show in the series of XLR -
extended live radio, on Dec 1st in Graz, from 6pm to midnight our
local time.

We want to ask: what do we really need, and invite a bunch of people to
answer this question in sound/radio, plus share it with others, so
that we can have some sort of chain reaction. > thus the title :)
it can be "good" what we share with each other, but also not - and
it can also get out of control.

this sharing can happen in different ways:
live-streaming; preproduced and put online somewhere, or by VOIP (already installed,
so people can leave their messages, here we are mostly thinking of
writers)

date: 1.12.2012
time: 6pm - midnight Graz time (central european)
http://zeitzonen.net/
place: forum stadtpark
it will be broadcast at the local community radio, Radio Helsinki

and is part of the RADIA - network programe for the Sao Paolo Biennale

that is currently going on until 9th of december.
http://mobile-radio.net/
at radio helsinki we will do 2 types of programe:
- in the week from 26th novembre to 2nd of december, we fill the
nightprogramme with works from the radia-network, a radio art network
run by community/free radios in europe and some other places since
several years.
- the live radio on the 1st of december
on this weekend forum stadtpark has a 4day action going on, under the
title "Die Tagung der Komune", inspired by Bertold Brecht's "Die Tage
der Comune". this is - as i understand it - a floating and fluid
gettogether of various artists, that will work out as a performative
installation that will also be filmed.

on this weekend in sao paolo, there will also be a guest artist in sao
paolo, Marold Langer-Philippsen http://paradiselost.us/

here in graz, we suggest to have some sort of timeline, that means: we
agree on certain time slots, who is going to be "on" when.

now, what we want to know from you:

1) do you want to participate?
2) how do you want to do that? (live remote, live in graz,
preproduced, VOIP, something else?)
3) do you want to work on somebody else's material?
4) for how much time do you plan your part? (in minutes :) )
as you can imagine, it would be good to know that in advance, but i am
also open to spontaneous interventions :) or also: if you are not
interested, please just drop us (reni[at]mur.at, hoefler[at]mur.at) a line.
it can be of course also already existing material, and as there is no
budget, i ask you to be gentle with your resources.
technically speaking, we will have a small radio studio in forum
stadtpark in graz, and stream the programe from there, which then gets
picked up by the radio and is directly broadcast.
all best wishes
reni
